About this trip
Two weeks on the road through some of Europe's best-known cities and landscapes, starting in London and looping through France and Italy. Expect a mix of big-city energy and slower, scenic stops, with a fully guided group taking care of the logistics.
Highlights include time in Paris, a stretch along the French Riviera, and a night gliding through Venice's canals. You'll also stay at Contiki's own chateau, a break from hotel rooms partway through the trip.
This is a classic first-timer's route through Europe, built for people who want to cover a lot of ground with a group rather than plan the details themselves.
